‘Size Seven’ published at Spillwords Press!

I smile to share that my poem, Size Seven, has been published over at Spillwords Press!

As its name suggests, Spillwords Press is a place for writers to thrive and words to flow into the centers of our fragile beings, where truth hides in feelings we may not know we have.

When I come away from reading a piece, if I feel a flicker of sadness or even a flash of anger, I know that what I just read was well-written, even if I did not agree with its content. Perhaps I find a parallel between my life and the story the writer is sharing or maybe I learn something new.

My passion as a writer is to catch feelings. Not capture them, since emotions cannot be caged, but to write feeling into words so that stories and memories and life may be remembered through words.

It is an insurmountable feeling

To be left alone
